`This book will be particularly useful to individual psyhologists who find themselves working closely with schools for the deaf or local provision for children with hearing impairment, without much previous experience in theis area. Other educational psychologists may find it a useful addition to the service library as it provides information, some inspiration and also food for thought!`
